Overview

Varnish is a web application accelerator that speeds up your website by caching your website contents. Varnish sits in front of your Magento website and tries to respond to your customer requests with this content.

Varnish immediately improves page load times which consistently leads to more product page views, more cart conversions, and increased revenue. In addition, caching content requires less work from your servers which reduces your server costs, and also allows your site to better handle an increase in traffic.

Varnish Cache is required for Magento 2 and section.io has created the first extension for Magento 2 that allows you to get setup with Varnish directly from the Magento admin portal, making it the fastest way to implement a Magento 2 optimized version of Varnish Cache. This extension is free to download. Once your application goes live with section.io, pricing starts at $9.95 per month. Pricing details can be found on the section.io pricing page. section.io provides:

section.io is the only website performance, scalability and security solution which gives Magento developers completed control over configuration, testing, and global deployment of Varnish Cache and other web enhancement tools.

Global Delivery network: We use multiple networks from different service providers to provide reliability & low latency routing of your applications traffic. We offer HTTP/2, TLS/ HTTPS, and a PCI compliant infrastructure.

Development Environment: Build your Magento application code with a binary equivalent of our production infrastructure running in your development environment. Test your Magento application code against your CDN configuration in development before pushing changes to your live production site to prevent incidents and downtime.

Logs and Metrics: Get visibility to diagnose and troubleshoot problems using the tools you already know like Kibana logs and Graphite metrics. With Kibana, you get request/response level of granularity in real-time. With Graphite, you get aggregate visualization to answer questions around application performance.

Source Controlled: Use source control to make and track changes over time. Each application has its own git repository and each branch is a separate environment. A commit to the upstream repository triggers a deployment to your application.

Varnish: Add Varnish to your section.io account to increase your Magento page load performance. Unlike other CDNs, we let you choose which version of Varnish you want to run. We also let you set up advanced configured using Varnish Control Language (VCL).

ModSecurity: Add ModSecurity to your section.io application to protect your Magento site from attacks. We allow you to easily set up a Website Application Firewall (WAF) with OWASP configured ruleset out of the box.
